Sullivan Vintage 35 Mahogany 5-String Banjo - Gloss

You are viewing the actual banjo that you’ll be purchasing.
Sullivan Banjos is a company with a long history in the banjo business and have refined their craft into the Vintage 35.  This one is made with beautiful curated mahogany for the rim and neck.  This has a very loud sound and plays sweet as butter.  There is a ton of details put into this banjo including popular wood on the inside of the mahogany resonator that includes a tapered sidewall for extra projection.  It has the Sullivan Vintage 35 flathead tone ring installed on a 3-ply Red Maple Rim.  The tone ring is years of development that is based on a pre-war 1935 Gibson flathead. The inlays are cut from beautiful Mother of Pearl that just shines in the light.
